What does a correctional case manager do?

A correctional case manager works with convicted criminals to help them re-enter society as productive citizens. As a correctional case manager, you act as a liaison between social services and the correctional system. Part of your job duties include working with inmates while they are finishing their time in prison to help identify skills they can use to find gainful employment upon release. You also work with social services to ensure that the inmates will be getting the appropriate treatment once they are outside of prison. Experience in social sciences and a knowledge of the prison system are important.
